How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

3/4, but they ranged and I didn't check the yard. The newest layer is seemingly unreliable, but she may just be hiding them because she's not trained to lay in the box.

Should have the coop finished by the next non-rainy day and I am going to keep them locked in until I leave for work to solve that problem.

1/6 - I have only three that have started laying so it's not as bad as it sounds.

4 eggs out of 5 layers. Two large brown, 1 medium green, and one HUGE dark brown.

I've been working on a few smaller coops for my girls and have removed one of the walls of fence so the girls have been free ranging. We are now playing, "Find the Eggs" even if I keep them locked up most of the day. There are 3 places they lay. One is in a small dog house right outside the backdoor. Told my husband they have started delivering as well as laying.

I'm totally amazed!!! I just tallied my daily count since Sept. 7th when I got the first egg and it's 224, I did the math again same results. This is my first year to have chickens and I will have them till I'm too old to properly care for them. I guess I'm doing something right. 9-10 a day from 10 Golden Comets. I got the largest egg so far the other day. I had to get out the dial calipers to properly measure it. 2.580" long and 1.874" in diameter. OWIE! What we haven't eaten I've given to good people that deserve them, none for the bad people. My co-worker/ straw supplier dropped off my winter bedding yesterday and asked where the chickens were? I said oh there here someplace and I hollered WHERE'S MY BABIES? COME ON BABIES! Of course they all came running from their foraging spots. He couldn't believe it. He said he's never seen chickens come when called and he's lived on a farm his whole life. I told him that his chickens were never spoiled and pampered like these. Getting ready for winter, have enough bedding for them, the water heater is built, and a thermometer is on tomorrows shopping list. Oh ya and the top hinged coop windows are nailed tight. YA gotta love em!

8 from 23. They've been laying for 11 days.

When I went to the coop this morning my Black Sex Link announced that there would be another layer today. I don't know how she knows, but every day there is going to be a new layer she screams her head off. I guess she is announcing someone coming of age. Sure enough, one of my Jersey Giants laid a little brown egg shortly after that.

So, today for the first time I got 5 eggs from 6 layers. Only 22 left to start laying up in the big coop. That is not counting my babies in the little coop.
